03919133DC458E09FEF70913FE74FCF2.taxon	discussion	Rationale of the new generic assignment. The type species of Cynorta was redescribed recently (Kury et al. 2007) and similarities in the shape of the dorsal scutum, armature and colouration pattern with Neocynorta m-inscripta allow its recognition as a member of the genus Cynorta.	en	Medrano, Miguel, Villarreal, Osvaldo, Kury, Adriano B.

03919133DC448E0AFE6F0A3CFB94FBF5.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Dorsal scutum beta-shaped in dorsal view, with shallow cheliceral sockets. Dorsal scutum and free tergites entirely unarmed except for a pair of small tubercles on area I and a pair of paramedian tubercles or rounded-tip spines on area III. Reticulate pattern of blots bordering carapace and scutal areas I – III (being diffuse or weak in areas II and III in some species) and invading area IV (Figures 2, 7 – 11 and 15). Pedipalpal tibia asymmetrical, with maximum width at 3 / 4 length (Figure 4 (a – b )). Chelicerae weak, monomorphic, with reduced armature on posterior and ectal margins of bulla (Figure 4 (e )); movable finger with a medium to large basal tubercle (Figure 4 (d), except in N. frigida). All legs moderately elongate (femur IV approximately 1.5 times body length), with femora straight and podomeres cylindrical and unarmed (Figures 2 (b), 3, 13 and 16). Coxa IV granulated, convex and entirely visible in dorsal view, without groin warts (Figures 2 (a), 8 (b), 12 (c), 15 (b) and 16 b). Ventral plate of penis rectangular (Figures 5 b and 14 c); glans immersed in a depression of truncus (Figures 5 (a) and 14 (a – b )); stylus with ventral laminar process (VLP; Figure 5 (d – e), absent or reduced in N. venezuelensis).

We recognise those species as members of Neocynorta based on the reticulate pattern of blots on the dorsal scutum; dorsal scutum beta-shaped in dorsal view, with shallow cheliceral sockets, cheliceral movable finger with a median basal tubercle (except N. frigida) and stylus with VLP visible in most species schematised by González-Sponga (not evident in N. lata, N. meridensis, N. sanarensis, N. tovarzeai and N. yaracuyana).	en	Medrano, Miguel, Villarreal, Osvaldo, Kury, Adriano B.

03919133DC498E07FE8E0D5FFE64FB8B.taxon	discussion	Remarks The illustrations provided by González-Sponga (1992) of the two species are remarkably similar; although it was not possible for us to examine the holotype of Forfexia marmorata, we examined abundant material collected from the type locality (topotypes), sufficient to justify the synonymy here proposed comparing with the types of Szczurekia dianae (Figure 6). Besides, slight variations can be observed in the pattern of dorsal scutum spots (Figure 6 (d, e )). González-Sponga (1992) assigned a male ‘ holotype ’ (MAGS 111 a) and a female ‘ paratype ’ (MAGS 111 b) in the original description of Szczurekia dianae; however, they were not identified amidst the type series, which are all stored together as syntypes. Here we assign the only dissected male as a lectotype and the remaining individuals as paralectotypes. González-Sponga (1992) assigned letters ‘ a ’ and ‘ b ’ to the holotype and paratypes in the same lot. However, these designations do not mean that they were physically separated. Therefore, they are actually syntypes, incorrectly called ‘ holotype ’ and ‘ paratype ’. It is highly probable that the only male dissected in MAGS 111 was also illustrated in the original description, and therefore it is here chosen as lectotype (ICZN Recommendation 74 B). The same situation applies for the species N. petraeı N. punctataı N. virginis and N. yaracuyana.	en	Medrano, Miguel, Villarreal, Osvaldo, Kury, Adriano B.

03919133DC4F8E1CFEE20E7FFDC2FA7D.taxon	discussion	Remarks The presence of the VLP (Figure 5 (d – e )) is considered here a putative synapomorphy of Neocynorta; this character was illustrated by González-Sponga in all species described by him (including C. levinseni) and transferred here to Neocynorta. Nonetheless, in the specimen that we have examined and illustrated of N. venezuelensis (Figure 13 (a – d )), this process is not visible. That may be because it is masked by the growth of the caruncle, and is extremely reduced (or absent). We think that this could be considered a possible reversion, representing an apomorphic state, which does not prevent the inclusion of the species in the genus.	en	Medrano, Miguel, Villarreal, Osvaldo, Kury, Adriano B.
